PRIMER: H.R. 1 and the Permanency of Systemic Voter Fraud
Summary: The deceptively named “For the People Act” would impose federal control over our elections and make systemic voter fraud permanent. H.R. 1 would consolidate power in the hands of an elite political class who would become the final arbiters over electoral processes to influence election outcomes.
Undermines Election Integrity
H.R. 1 implements policies that would permanently harm the integrity of our elections:
- Automatically registers all individuals (including non-citizens) to be able to vote
- Allows minors to register to vote long before they turn 18 years old
- Forces states to expand fraud-prone vote-by-mail as a permanent feature of elections
- Renders moot existing voter ID laws
Consolidates Power in Washington D.C.
H.R. 1 centralizes control over our elections in D.C. with the following measures:
- Creates a new bureaucracy of federally funded poll workers to monitor and oversee voting precincts across America
- Alters the ostensibly neutral Federal Election Commission to a partisan 3-2 composition
- Strips voters of the ability to determine how their districts are drawn
Imposes Mandates on States
H.R. 1 strips states of their sovereignty and ability to regulate their voting processes:
- Forces states to expand early voting windows
- Forces states to accept absentee ballots up to 10 days after an election so long as the ballot was postmarked on Election Day
- Forces states to implement same-day voter registration
- Mandates that states allow felons to vote regardless of parole status once out of prison in direct violation of the 14th Amendment
Protects a Corrupt Political Class
H.R. 1 protects the entrenched political elites in Washington D.C.:
- Provides a 600 percent federal match rate for candidates through a so-called “Freedom from Influence” Fund
- Imposes greater regulations and restrictions on citizens and civic organizations when it comes to involvement in elections and exercising their speech
- Forces non-profits and other civic groups to disclose their private donors
